Lance Berkman Great Quotations

He's not the only great pitcher on that staff. But we've got great pitching, too. We've got Roy ready to go, and he's been outstanding all year long. It's still up to us to get this done.

I think he didn't have great command on what he's trying to do out there. He's been very tough against us, so it was good to jump on him early.

We have a lot of questions as far as our fourth and fifth guys. It's just an unknown. We may get some great production out of there, but you just don't know at this point.

You can't give the opposing team's pitcher too much credit. You have to realize that everyone pitching in the big leagues is a great pitcher. But that doesn't mean that they can make a great pitch every single time.

We don't give up, we don't let circumstances bother us. I think we have a group of mentally tough guys. We've experienced a lot of disappointment together and we've come back from that and experienced a lot of great things together.

I don't care how he pitches. He's out there and his mom just passed away. If he pitches great or not, it's not going to matter one bit to anybody in here.

The pitching has been great on both sides. It's what you expect in the playoffs. When you have a close series like this, it usually comes down to who gets the clutch hits.

It just goes to show you that anybody can have an off night. He is just a great performer, and you expect him to throw well. At the same time, he's a human being, too.

He's going to be a great player, ... He probably was a secret to the world, but not to us. We've watched him play, and believe he's going to be an All-Star. Once again, he seemed unfazed by big situations.

Viz is another guy that I think is great with not only the Latino guys but he's also great for guys like me. Anybody can draw on his wealth of experience. They set a standard for the right way to play the game and the right way to conduct yourself in the clubhouse and on the field. Their example is very important.

He's really been an underrated part of this team. Swinging the bat, not just in the playoffs, you can see and tell the way he goes about his business, the way he has at-bats, he's going to be a great player.

Brad is a great closer, and we wouldn't have been here without him.
